I wanted to share my story with others because I didn't find much info on LS and it's effects of pregnancy and vaginal delivery. My LS gave me no problems while I was pregnant, in fact it was the best it had been since before I was diagnosed. The increase of estrogen from being pregnant helped a lot.

Delivery was a different story. I had a lot of tearing. I had stitches inside my vagina , a bilateral episiotomy due to having a short perineum (not sure if that is due to LS or not), and also tearing all up and down my labia. I was in terrible pain. I couldn't walk or sit. Laying down was the only way to prevent pain and I dreaded going pee because it would bring on a crying episode due to pain and burning. One week pp I called my Dr because I just didn't think I was having normal pain. I was told that due to my "history" I would have more pain than usual.

One week later I was finally feeling better. In the shower one night while washing myself, mind you I hadn't done that for two weeks nor had I actually wiped after urinating, I felt something that wasn't "right" I got out my trusty mirror and noticed my right and left labia were beginning to fuse together (my inner and outer labia one each side have been fused for as long as I can remember) I called the dr the next morning and they had me see the nurse practitioner. I felt that they didn't fully understand what I was describing. Sure enough, the nurse practitioner had never seen it before and ended up calling the dr in. Here's where it gets good, the dr had never seen it either! She assumes it's from the tearing I experienced while giving birth and the raw tissue just healed together. I was given estrogen for two weeks to try to separate the skin itself, it didn't work. 3 days ago the dr cut the adhesion in the office with local anesthesia. I am to continue using the estrogen until it heals to prevent the labia from fusing together again.

So there is my experience, I hope nobody else has, and maybe they can try to prevent it from happening themselves now knowing what can happen.
